Paraná Is the 5th State with the Most Solar Energy Installations in Brazil and the Largest in Distributed Generation

Paraná is the 5th Brazilian state with the most solar energy installations in Brazil and one of the largest contributors to the country’s distributed generation. As of August 2019, 1,053 connections for solar energy capture were established in Paraná, which corresponds to almost 8% of the total installations nationwide. The state ranks behind only Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Rio de Janeiro. The information comes from the 1st Greener survey in 2019, published by the Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation (ABGD).

Advantages of Solar Energy

The advantage of solar energy is that it is clean, sustainable, and provides a great economic return, and Paraná is already benefiting from this by excelling in distributed generation. “It is not possible to eliminate the bill entirely due to the minimum payment for network availability from the distributor, but compared to the electricity bill, which frequently has increased fees, the reduction is considerable,” he notes.

In November, for example, the rate was red at level 1, with costs between R$ 3 to R$ 4 for every 100 kWh in Paraná.

According to ABSOLAR, the benefits include the socioeconomic sphere, such as reducing electricity costs for the population, businesses, and governments, bringing savings to society. Additionally, they boost local job creation, estimated at 25 to 30 new jobs per MW/year; and attract foreign capital and new private investments to the country.

In terms of environmental impact in Paraná, highlights include the generation of clean, renewable, and sustainable electricity, without greenhouse gas emissions, without waste, and with low environmental impact.

Photovoltaic solar energy also has great strategic importance, promoting the diversification of the Brazilian electric matrix and assisting in the security and supply of electrical energy.
